Though this year’s recruiting class features just a single commitment currently, it comes from a very highly touted guard prospect,…

So much so that, charming as it is, Bloomington, Ind., can present less as a Midwest college town than as a collection of apartments, townhouses and villas, with a major state university tacked on.  Having realized years ago that there was—and is—a fortune to be made as a developer catering to students, Scott May is among the largest real estate holders in town, the baron of thousands of…

This has turned Kastelic into a singular type of faceoff specialist: drop man to start overtime.Kastelic, the No. 3 right wing, is tied for 11th in team scoring (4-4—8).
